Chapter 899

Searching for privacy, Millie located the most secluded pool. Assured that no one was around, she

removed her bathrobe and gingerly stepped in. As she settled on the edge of the pool, the warmth

enveloped her, relaxing her entire body. She sighed contentedly, feeling at ease.

As time passed, Millie began to idly play with the water, her thoughts wandering to Marcus and Kai’s

whereabouts.

She understood Leslie’s intention in bringing her here, providing an opportunity for Marcus and Kai to

discuss their business cooperation further.

A sudden realization struck her; she had left her phone behind. A wave of concern washed over her.

What if Marcus finished his conversation and was unable to find her?

Just as Millie was contemplating her next move, the sound of footsteps reached her ears, Nervously,

she turned, wondering who could be approaching.

Wearing only a bikini, she felt self-conscious and instinctively reached to cover herself,

But as she turned her head, she recognized a pair of long legs and a familiar silhouette.

Marcus, clad only in black boxers, had untied his bathrobe and was making his way into the pool. With

an arched eyebrow, he questioned, “What brings you to such a remote spot?”

Marcus waded into the water and took a seat, his gaze fixed on Millie. Although he had seen Millie

countless times before, her appearance in a bikini never failed to captivate him.

Despite her modest attempt to cover herself, her alluring figure was not entirely concealed. Her legs

were incredibly fair, contrasting with her curvy yet slender form.

Observing Marcus’ intense stare, Millie felt a blush creep up her cheeks and she pursed her lips.

Even though Marcus was her husband, she still felt a reluctance to fully reveal herself in front of him.

“Honey, why do you feel the need to cover up around me?” Marcus asked, his grin tinged with mischief.

Millie chose to ignore him, lowering her head and letting her feet play in the water.

“Honey?

Marcus had come to realize that Millie often pretended not to hear certain things. Yet, this never

discouraged him from calling out to her.

“Yes?” Millie finally responded.

“As your husband, I thought I knew every part of you. Why are you so guarded about your body?” he

inquired, a hint of teasing in his tone. Millie lifted her chin, defiance in her voice, “Simply put, I won’t let

you see everything.”

Narcus’ smile grew more pronounced. His wife’s behavior reminded him of someone guarding a

treasure from a thief.

“How did you find me here?” Millie asked, confusion evident in her voice. The spot she’d chosen was

secluded and well-hidden.

“Mrs. Bryant told me,” Marcus answered,

ALL at once, Millie understood that if Leslie was aware she was here, it would make sense. She had

the feeling that Leslie had been observing her from afar when she stumbled upon this place. As she

watched Marcus, Millie noticed the length of his legs, significantly longer than her own. Though his legs

weren’t as fair as hers, she found this difference charming.

“Honey, don’t stare at me like that,” Millie stammered, her cheeks warming as she looked at Marcus.

“What will happen if I do?” Marcus chuckled, “Don’t look,” Millie warned playfully, grasping his waist.

Marcus shook his head, smiling at her bashfulness.
